US specific products/capabilities
US specific products/capabilities

We are continuously working with key market participants and clients to provide products/solutions that will help pension plan clients to manage their risk. We summarise below some of the products that we have already introduced in various markets. The list below is not meant to be exhaustive as we continuously aim to introduce new innovative products.

IBoxx US pension liability indices

IBoxx US Pension Liability Indices: To provide plan sponsors, consultants and investment managers with successful tools to implement a liability-based investment strategy, and compare their pension liabilities. UBS partnered with International Index Company (IIC) to introduce a new suite of IBoxx US Pension liability indices in the US. The indices are designed to represent typical pension liabilities, and are modular so as to allow blended construction of a customized liability index for most plans.

ALIS long duration commingled funds

We have launched 2 actively managed long duration commingled vehicles benchmarked to the IBoxx US Pension liability indices. These funds mimic the sensitivity of the liabilities to changes in interest rates as well as the slope and shape of the yield curve. They provide an extremely liquid, high quality yield curve representative of a pension plan’s interest rate exposure to the corporate bond yield curve.

Pension funds fitness tracker

This capability was introduced to track the typical plan’s funding ratio and liability valuation.
